Dakota does not want any fictitious boom.
There is no necessity fer it. The territory has
the inherited qualities and conditions for sue
cessful developement within it. It has the soil,
the climate and the geographical position,
and rapid advancement is just as inevitable as
the revolution of the earth. These arc what
will build up her cities, populate her vacant
lands and brings her enduring prosperity.
There are number Of towns in the territory
which have caught the reviving business breeze
and are notably active in real estate transac
tions. But such activity is founded on natural
causes, and is not the effect of visionary schem-
ing or mere speculation. Tho great busy
world outside Il looking for homes. The
crcwaed sections Of the East want to find a
country which can sustain the people after
people have come to it. Barren waste will
not do this. Towns must he very emra OF their
commercial advantages il they are TO depend
on these advantages alone. But put millions
of acres OF rich, productive soil back Of a COM
munlty, and however chilly the winds Of COM
mercial adversely may blow, they lave refuge
against want. Well-filled granaries can laugh
at financial depression and wait the turning OF
the wheel. The advancement Of Dakota and
Dakota cities is to be rapid, but it is to be solid
and legitimate. Conservative men are look.

Fargo as a JObbing Center,

The Republican has Information to the effect
that the new tariffs on the Milwaukee road,
which are to be announced early next week,
will be very nearly those which it printed some
days ago, and which will make Fargo a job
ping center for the supply Of the whole country
lying north and west. Whatever it may prove
to others, the Interstate commerce law will
be OF great value to Fargo. The new tariffs
will he printed within week, and readers OF

talked at random, and has not misled them.-
Fargo Republican,,
We sincerely hope that the bright antcpa.
tions of cur Fargo contemporary may be fully
realized, and that Fargo may indeed become
tho distributing point for much Of what the
people OF North Dakota arc now compelled to
rely upon St. Paul aud Minneapolis for. But
IN order to compete with the twin cities, even
though the Interstate commerce law may ope
rate favorably to the merchants of Fargo,
it Is absolutely essential that Fargo should have
better railroad connections with the country
lying directly northwest OF her With three
lines Of rallroad-the Hope, Portland and
Mayv1lle branches or the Manitoba system-
traversing fertile and we'll settled sections Of
country, it is much easier to get supplies from
st. Paul or Minneapolis than it ia from Fargo.
The building of twenty miles of road would
connect these three branches with Fargo aud
make communication with that city easy and
direct, and enable the people along these lines
10 draw their supplies from Fargo Uuder the
present arrangement goods have either to bp
shipped over the Northern Pacific to Casselton
and there transferred, or 60 round by way Of
] breckenridge, and in either case DO subject to
delay IN olsaeH to reach their destination. Fargo
,1merehants should at otico siessand Of tha Neui

at Casselton. We do not believe the business
men of Fargo fully realize the amount of trad,
that has becn diverted from their city by til,
miserable arrangements for getting to ant
from Fargo by the people living along th.
Manitoba branches Let the people of Fargo
arouse themselves ard reach cut for the rich
plum that is Ieady to fall into their hands.

The Floating Needle.

An interesting experiment, which may be
performed with quite q small magnet and
common sewing needle, is explained as fol-
lows in the Scientific american: Insert a
light bread in needle, tie and cut off one
end, leaving single thread six or eight
inches long. Lay horseshoe magnet on
table with the poles in front. Magnetic the
needle by rubbing it several times, always in
one direction, by one pole of the magnet
after each stroke returning the magnet In an
arc through the air. Take the end of the
thread between thumb and finger, and sus-
pend the needle over its attractive pole, al.
lowing the point to come within one-fourth
of an inch Of the magnet; then with a crcu-
lar sweep of the hand 10 keep the point in
position draw the eye of the needle down to-
wards the other pole. This if carefully done,
will bring the needle to horizontal position,
where it will remain, floating or in suspen-
sion, as long as the thread is held steadily
The magnet forces operating 10 produce this
effect appear 10 be- First, the attraction Of
the left pole for the point of the needle;
second, the repulsion of the right pole for
the same point, and, third, the attraction of
the right pole for the eye of the needle, which
is resisted by the thread supporting the needle;
the latter is also held from approaching
the left pole by the same means. The ex-
pertinent may be more effective by covering
the magnet with a sheet of paper, thus con-
cealing it.

been such regu'ar attendant at church,
She had such great admiration for Calthrop
she had never missed hearing him, even wad-

An Old Story.

In real estate office the other day heard
gentleman relating the experience of an
Eastern friend of his who, many years ago,
for bad debt u $4,000, was compelled to
accept Western land of the estimated value
of $4,000. He paid constantly increasing
taxes upon the land for number of years
without going to see it. One day his agent
telegraphed him, asking him what he would
take for the land, which had finally come to
be far within the corporate limits Of Chicago.
The owner figured that, taxes and interest,
the land had cost him $4,000, and more in
joke than anything else, not dreaming that
the offer would be accepted, wrote tele-
gram saying that he would take $50, 900 cash
for the property. He sent message by his
office boy, where the clerk insisted that the
sum be spelled out in the message. The
office boy rewrote it, and by mistake wrote
$500, 900 instead of $4,000. In an hour back
came the reply: "Offer of half million dol
lars accepted. Make deed and come on and
get certified check" The man made his
office boy handsome present for his clerical
error, and gave his old-time debtor $4,000
with which to re-establish himself in bust

A Novel Cure.

The health of the mind can always be pro-
NOTED by rousing 1t to methodical action. The
Scientific American describes an interesting
case of fighting insanity by insanity, recently
noticed among the patients at Blackwell's
Island:
Two lunatics who were disposed to com.
NIT suicide had been received at the hospital.
Each possessed special delusion, one that lie
was COW, and the other that his head was
an iron ball, which must be rolled along the
floor. They carried these beliefs into action,
one striking his head, and the other rolling
his, and of course his body with it, over the
floor.
The two patients were placed together,
and each was privately told of the others
weakness, and warned to watch his compan.
ion, to prevent his committing suicide. Thus
each had charge over the other.
Their vigilance was unceasing. Each sup
posed himself TO be perfectly sane, and the
belief was accompanied by considerable
scorn ofthe others weakness of intellect
Gradually both were improved.
To centre their attention on definite duty,
and on objects external to themselves, proved
Strengthening to their diseased minds, and
they soon were discharged from the asylum

DREAMS OF JOY


o. let the soul its slumber break.
Arouse its senses and awake,
To see how soon
Life, with its glory, glides away.
And the stern footsteps of decay
Come stealing on.
And while we eye the rolling tide,
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away 80 fast,
Let us the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream Of joy
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind
No happier lot us hope to find
Tomorrow than to-day.
Our golden dreams of yore We're bright;
Like them, the present shall delight
Like them, decay.
Our lives, like hasting streams, must be,
That into one engulfing sea,
Are doomed TO fall
The sea OF death, whose waves roll on
Ger king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide.
Alike the humble riv'lets glide H,.-s-s
To that sad wave;
lVatn levels property and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth ia but the starting place,
Life is the running of the race,
And death the goal;
There all those glittering toys are brought I:
The path alone of all unsought.
Ia found of all.
Say. then, how poor and little worth
Arc all those glittering toys of earth
That lure US here?
Dreams of sleep that death must break,
Alas before 1t bids us wake,
Ic disappear!
